Stand for display monitor

Abstract

In order to provide a stand for a display monitor capable of preventing the occurrence of abnormal noise when the stand moves upward and downward and capable of being intended to be thinner in thickness by exercising ingenuity especially in a raising and lowering mechanism, the stand is composed of a base member attached to a pedestal portion; a case body erected on the base member; a raising and lowering plate inserted in the case body so that the plate can slide in upward and downward directions; a bracket to which a display monitor is attached, installed on an upper side of the raising and lowering plate via a tilt mechanism; a rack member attached to the raising and lowering plate; and a torque limiter having a driving pinion gear engaged with the rack member, which is fixed to the case body and generates a rotation torque when rotating in one direction.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a stand for a display monitor suitable for use in display monitors such as a notebook personal computer, a liquid-crystal display monitor or a thin type monitor placed on a table, and the like.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Conventionally, as a stand for adjusting the height and the angle of a display monitor placed on a table, various kinds of stands for the display monitor such as shown in Japanese Utility Model Registration No. 3063920 or Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. Hei 11-338576 are known.[0005]In the stands for the display monitor shown in these patent documents, a raising and lowering mechanism adjusting the height of the monitor is the one combining a friction mechanism with a elastic means composed of a compression spring, an extension spring and a constant spring in both cases.[0006]In the stand for the display monitor (hereinafter, it is also referre...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007]An object of the present invention is to provide a stand for a display monitor capable of preventing the occurrence of abnormal noise when the display monitor moves upward and downward and capable of being intended to be thinner in thickness by exercising ingenuity especially in a raising and lowering mechanism.

Problems solved by technology

In the stand for the display monitor (hereinafter, it is also referred to as a stand) including the raising and lowering mechanism constituted by the combination of the friction mechanism and the elastic means, the abnormal noise is apt to occur on the occasion of a stretching movement of the elastic means and on the occasions of a friction in the friction mechanism, and further, it is difficult to decrease the thickness of the stand itself due to a spring characteristic of the elastic means, as a result, there exist limitations for constructing the stand to be compact and smart.
